The+Book+of++the+Dead

 The book of the dead is like a funery text. The book of the dead had charms, spells, and formulas. It was used for a dead person to decease in to the field of reeds, or afterlife. The book of the dead was usually used in funerals. The book of the dead was first written on stone sarcophagi. Then it was written on papyrus scroll and was placed inside the mummy case.  When a dead person goes into afterlife they first have to weigh their heart with the feather of truth. If the hear  t is lighter then the feather of truth, they may pass into the field of reeds. But if not Ammit, an animal with crocodiles head would gobble the heart and soul. Then they may decease into afterlife. Not to the field of reeds because they do not deserve to enter the field of reeds. The fields of reeds are like a gateway.  The priests say their hymns, spells, and their prayers, for them to pass into the field of reeds. To the Egyptians the book of the dead was very sacred. ** [|www.google.com]  **
